Cars that drive themselves are not just the stuff of sci-fi movies.

Self-driving cars are already here, though they are a technology of degrees. Features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping technology will be released first. Adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts your speed to the car in front of you, is already well-tested. Unlike the past, complex software is enabling more vehicle innovation than the invention of new hardware. It is thanks to software that Google's self-driving hybrids have logged more than 140,000 miles on public roads.

Steve Mahan is 95 percent blind. And yet he was able to get into a car and drive a pre-programmed route from his California home to a Taco Bell restaurant. Mahan was driving a Google autonomous car.

Last month, Google said its self-driving automobile project had logged 200,000 miles without an accident. While today's automakers already use sensitive sensory technology to assist drivers and in some cases, correct them, Google's project goes a step future. It aims to make human drivers into permanent passengers, combining the semi-autonomous cars with conventional vehicles, driven by people, on conventional roads. Besides some sticky technological problems, there remain serious social and legal obstacles.
